February is spring in Northern Vietnam, about the end of the rainy season in the Central Coast, the dry season with pleasant temperatures in the Central Highlands and Southern Vietnam.
Northern Vietnam may undergo several days with moist air and light drizzles in February which is due to weaker and more damp Northeasterly Wind meetings with other winds (Easterly, Southeasterly Winds…). The temperatures in the North are more likely pleasant for all month but the moisture makes it feel not comfortable.
Still, February should be a good month for sightseeing tours in the North. Halong Bay could be a bit foggy for some days. Trekking tours provide good adventure experiences in the far northern mountain of Vietnam in February.
The Central Coast is to enter the transitional time between the rainy season and the dry season with pleasant temperatures. The rain is quite light and should not impact your Vietnam holidays at all. The pleasant temperatures make visits to tourist sites quite good experiences.
The South Central Coast (South of the Central Region: from Nha Trang to Phan Thiet Mui Ne) is in dry season now with very pleasant temperatures and lovely sunshine.
